Hi Alex, If you are concerned about security, you might want to make sure that your script submitted the form, because anyone can make an HTML form and call your script. In the PHP documentation file on http://www.nonvisualdevelopment.org, there is a file called PHP Essentials. It's a bit old as far as keeping up with the latest and greatest PHP is concerned, but it explains the concepts you are learning right now very clearly and takes one point at a time. You might want to check it out. Thanks.
